Give generously to them and do so without a grudging heart; then because of this the Lord your God will bless you in all your work and in everthing you put your hand to. There will always be poor people in the land. Therefore I command you to be openhanded towards your fellow Israelites who …
Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” Matthew 22:36-40 I know we …
Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength… I will continue with the rest of the passage from The Message: Love God, your God, with your whole heart: love Him with all that …

Psalm 107:8-9“Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for mankind, for he satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.” Most of us have fond memories around our parents’ table at Thanksgiving. For us, sometimes it was just my parents, grandparents and great grandmother, but …
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not unto your own understanding.
